Arabian Geography.
From Science.

The west side of Arabia is occupied by
mountain range from 5000 to 10 900 feet
in height. The western declivity Of this
range is very steep, falling abruptly to
the Tihama, q plain about 1000 feet in
height, with gradual slope toward the
sea. The eastern slope of the mountain
range is very gradual.
The south coast of Arabia is also occu-
pie by high mountains. While the high
land between these ranges is a desert, the
slopes are drained by numerous rivers,
some of which are running throughout
the year. Toe slopes of the mountains
are highly cultivated, terraces being built
from the summit of the range TO its foot.
Those which Can be easily irrigated yield
four crops annually, and are highly priced.
Coffee is one of the principal products OF
the country.
While Haig describes the Climste OF the
hign parts as wholesome and agreeable, il
is quite the reverse according 20 Gaser
He says that malaria fevers prevail in the
high land, as we'll as in the low land. In
Sanaa the temperature frequently falls
below the fret zingspoint, and during the
hottest season temperature of go deg,
Fair. was observed. In winter the daily
variations are very great, temperature
of 80 deg ia the morning being followed
by one Of 68 deg. after noon.
The western slopes of the mountains
are moistened by heavy fogs, which every
day ascend from the low land TO the
summit, though they do not reach the
interior.

SHEIKH ALPS DEATH.
The Feast About to be Celebrated by Fam
atics at OonstsRtinople.


atics at OoBstsRtinople.
New York Evening World,
In q couple of days the feast of the
death of Shelkh Ali will be celebrated in
Constantinople by the several thousand
Persians residing there.
Two years ago, through the courtesy OF
the American embassy, the writer OBJ
tanned good seat IN the Persian baZsar,
where he had an excellent view of the
CHASTITY procession. Sneikh Ali was 8
brother-in-law of Mohammet, and the Gel
{ bration of his murder is one of the chief
fessts OF the Perslsns during the whole
year.
procession is formed of 800 or 400
men, dressed in white robes with bare
heads and drawn swords, and daggers in
their hands. They ma ch around the
Persian Bazaar about 8 O'Clock in the
evening, forming two lines, with the
StorVishes in the center, chaDting from the
Koran the passage concerning their
revered priest and his murder. After an
hour of this they begin TO get worked up
into frenzy, and keep time to the chant
by bobbing and gsshing their neads at
every sentence from the Koran
This continues until their heads
become covered with blood. Many in
the procession faint from loss of blood,
or go into fits from overexcitement, and
are picked up by porters, put into large
wicker baskets and carried home. The
friends of those in the procession fire.
quently walk at their side and catch the
blows of the swords and daggers on their
sticks when the paraders become too ex-
cited and strike themselves too hard. II
any people die from the fleets the fact is
kept quiet and Christians never hear Of
it. OF course, dying through and for
such cause insures the man an immedi-
place in FL -aven with eight wives, slaves
to fan his noble brow, and every bliss
which the prophet knew how to describe
and hold out to his believers.
Ryder Haggard, with all his imsglns-
ton, could scarcely describe a more
CHASTITY sight. Thirty or forty years ago
there was general massacre of Christian
in the Persian Bazaar, several hundred
being killed while the frerzy Of the
fanatics lasted, and since then regiment
of soldiers surrounds the procession to
guard against a repetition of such scenes.
Only very limited number of Christians
are admitted now.

placing the criminal upon q bed, or maj,
over which small stream of water w6s
continually flowing. Attendants were in
readiness, and at the slightest indication
of slumber they would rouse their victim
by ringing of bells, beating drums, or
the application of fire to his body. The
treatment rendered sleep impossible; the
poor wretch's mind became disordered
under the torture, and oftentimes left him
raving maniac.
The old style of trial in Japan included
only about four persons-the judge, the
secretary, the torturer and the accused.
The latter was taken into the examination
room securely bound, and was forced to
kneel during the iDves igation Of his case.
If he persisted in remaining mute, or sp-
peared to equivocate in his reply to the
questions addressed to him, the sim
vestigation whip wSs used snartly-sn
instrument capable of inficting great
punishment, made of three long strips OF
bamboo cane. Should he continue
stubborn much heavier whip was ap-
piled, the torturer repeating the blows
until the prisoner either yielded or tainted
under the terrible infiiction. But no fatal
injuries were permitted to be inflicted
during these preliminary Investigations;
and judge causing the application of
torture to innocent persons, or to those
of very advanced or tender years, or to
pregnant females, was himself liable to
severe punishment.
Such were some of the inhumsn meth
DDS of torturing prisoners in japan, prac-
ticed, certainly, within score of years
and less-and not few of the death SEN
fences described, excepting the most
atrocious fortunes, the present writer has
actually witnessed.

Christian Baptist church has been doing
an extensive manufacturing business al
